Elliot · Answer 2

The correct answer is "the Whiskey Rebellion takes place in western Pennsylvania". After the Revolutionary War, the US accumulated debts amounting to about 54 million US dollars of the time. Treasure Secretary Alexander Hamilton (under George Washington's government) decided to tax the production of whiskey to collect funds for the government. Many farmers of Western Pennsylvania fiercely rejected the measure since they produced home-made whiskey for additional income.
